Hundreds of Iranians took to the streets on Monday to protest the plummeting value of the Iranian currency, the rial, and the associated inflation. The demonstrations are the largest since the wave of protests that followed the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, according to the AP. The protests in Tehran are centered around a shopping street in the city center and the area surrounding the city’s Grand Bazaar. Police used tear gas to disperse the demonstrators. The demonstrations follow the plummeting value of the rial and the departure of the Iranian central bank governor. The depreciation is causing prices in Iran to rise rapidly, including food and gasoline. The price of food rose 72 percent in December compared to a year earlier.

The regime is having the walls close in, currency, water, energy, declining revenue, the fall of Assad, weakening of Hezabollah, and the embarrassment of losing air superiority over their own capital and having high ranking officers left vulnerable. Something has to give.
